Hello friends! We’ve got a super-sized engagement post to share today that we’re super-excited about! Sometimes, things just click. The weather and the sunshine and the people and the places and the wardrobe just all come together perfectly, and those are the sessions where we fully come alive. We love all our couples and their sessions, but sometimes things click in a special way like they did today with Allie and Chris! Their session was full of things they love, like milk and cookies, downtown Franklin, Radnor (coming later!), and of course, each other! Allie (from just north of Nashville) and Chris (from just south of Nashville) originally crossed paths at the University of Tennessee, but they didn’t start dating until after college, when they both returned to Nashville. From then on, they were inseparable! Life has been a little crazy for Allie and Chris; shortly after their wedding next month, they will be moving overseas for missions. How awesome is that?! We’re so excited for them!

Here are a few of our favorite images from today, and be sure to check back Friday for part two!

BEHIND THE LENS

A note from Jen

Purpose and passion and the lessons of over 17 years of weddings...

I'm writing this today staring out at the bright blue Colorado sky, near Boulder, CO where I live with my husband of nearly 17 years and our 8 year old son. We moved here to chase the mountains and adventure and a life fully lived, after over a decade in Nashville, TN. 

It might seem silly to say that I believe part of my purpose here on this earth is creating photos at people’s weddings. But here’s the thing. Life is absolutely going to life. There are going to be days and seasons that are freaking hard and awful and the world feels like it’s burning down (literally, metaphorically, in all the ways). And there are going to be days full of so much love and joy and bliss and peace that you wish you could just bottle it up for all time.

And I feel so strongly that that’s WHY a wedding matters. And why your photos matter. And why making it so intentional and purposeful to you matters. To create the space to intentionally create beautiful new memories together. Because it’s a weekend to say that this love (yes, all love) and these people (yes, all people) MATTER. It exists. It is real. And it’s worth celebrating the f*** out of. In a radical defiance of everything telling us to be scared and wall up our hearts.



And it’s worth documenting. My purpose in this is to be present with what’s there on your wedding day—all the joy, love, and whatever else is showing up—and creating the record of it. A record of what is true to you. So that when the days hit hard, you can point back at this anchor of joy and love, and know that it exists. It is real. It is worth celebrating.

Sending all the love, wherever this journey of life is meeting you today. xoxo, Jen
